Chapter 27

"Sir, haven't you thought of telling these people in the command about your thoughts to Director Huang?" Tan Fei, who had not spoken, finally said what was in his heart after the others walked out of the house. When he spoke just now, Tang Cheng had been observing Tan Fei's reaction, he knew that Tan Fei, who was older than him and was a student, was a person with ideas and insights, and at the same time, Tang Cheng also knew that Tan Fei had always had great respect for Hou Huo, the champion of the Han Dynasty, and he could be curious about how a person like Tan Fei would react when he heard what he said just now.

There will be no one here, Tan Fei finally spoke, the stone hanging in Tang Cheng's heart finally fell to the ground, as long as Tan Fei opened his mouth to talk to himself, it meant that he was still his brother. "The people in the command now listen to Stilwell, that big-nosed American, do you think a little captain like me can walk into the command? Not to mention entering the headquarters, maybe I wouldn't even see Stilwell's big nose and I'd be arrested by the gendarmes. Tang Cheng smiled a little self-deprecatingly, his words made Tan Fei frown, but he had to admit that Tang Cheng was right.

Xu was aware of Tan Fei's depression, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Tan Fei's shoulder heavily, "I brought you all to Burma, so I naturally have the responsibility to bring you back alive, I am just a little captain who does not count, so I can only take care of the few of you around me." I know what you're thinking, and I know your ambitions to join the army, but now is not the time to talk about this, only by saving your own life first, can your ambitions be realized. ”

Now Tan Fei is no longer the young student who followed a group of bandits in the mountains, following Tang Cheng all the way south has taught Tan Fei a lot of things he has never been exposed to, and he also understands the cruelty and hardship of war, so he can only nod and leave silently with his head down. "Tan Fei is good, it's a pity to follow us, if he is in a unit like the 88th Division, it won't take two years, maybe his rank will be higher than mine." In front of Hou San, Tang Cheng did not hesitate to praise and value Tan Fei.

"Wu Laosan and the dice are not bad, the stone follows you all the way south, isn't it also impressive, you can't treat them equally, these people are all good." Hearing the importance of Tang Cheng's words squadron Tan Fei, Hou San first glanced left and right, and they were not at the door, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if the hot-tempered guy from the dice heard Tang Cheng's words just now, he would have to go to Tan Fei to theorize again.

"You don't understand, what I just said doesn't mean that a few of you are worse than Tan Fei, besides, Tan Fei's stupid devil soldiers are far inferior to you and the dice, and they may not even be able to compare with stones. You have not experienced real positional warfare, you do not know the cruelty and danger of positional warfare, if the officers commanding the battle are illiterate, they may not even be able to read military orders, the chance of surviving on the battlefield is fleeting, a simple military order may involve the lives of hundreds or thousands of brothers, and a cool-headed commander is far more suitable for such a battlefield than a fierce general who has killed countless enemies. ”

Tang Cheng's words made Hou San more and more confused the more he listened, he couldn't understand the true meaning of Tang Cheng's words at all, but he admitted that Tan Fei was very different from before. Huang Hanju stayed in the city until it was completely dark before returning to the camp, and Tang Cheng brought back some ammunition and medicine, although it was not enough for Tang Cheng to expect, but it was better than nothing.

"The above may have to organize the wounded to return to Wan Town, when I went to the headquarters today to find that Johnson, I met an operational staff officer who had been to the executive office before, he said that the speed of the Japanese attack was very fast, and the command was already considering a plan to transfer the wounded back to China." The news that Huang Hanju brought back is not a bad thing, although Huang Hanju is still holding the post of deputy director of logistics, but in fact he has become the head of this shelter for the wounded, if the command of the expeditionary force really wants to send the wounded back to China, maybe Huang Hanju can also return to Wan Town with the wounded before.

"Brother-in-law, this is an opportunity, our plans are about to change. I'll give you a few more sticks, don't do anything for the next few days, go to the headquarters to hang around, maybe the head of your shelter can follow the wounded back to China in advance. Tang Cheng came to his spirit without blinking, if he could do this with a few gold bars, Tang Cheng hated to give Huang Hanju all the few gold bars he brought from Kunming to give as gifts.

Huang Hanju looked at Tang Cheng with some embarrassment, "Xiaocheng, is it really okay for us to do this?" I'm also a lieutenant colonel in the national army, and if the people in the administration knew about it, they would probably say that I was a deserter. Huang Hanju's words made Tang Cheng immediately laugh, the entire expeditionary force is about to retreat, and the retreat in the face of the Japanese army's three-way crazy attack is bound to be very chaotic, how can you still care about face at this time, saving your life is the most important thing.

"Brother-in-law, although you are a lieutenant colonel, you have never really fought with the Japanese army, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a civilian officer, I think you should leave early, so that I can also have an explanation with my sister." Tang Cheng did not hesitate to shatter the little courage that Huang Hanju had just mustered. It is also true that Huang Hanju bought the position of the guard regiment with money, and he also had the help of Tang Cheng to suppress the bandits, and how can the bandits be compared with the Japanese army, if there is really an accident on the battlefield, what should the women and children in his own family do?

Huang Hanju was hit hard by Tang Cheng, and then lowered his head and stopped talking, Tang Cheng had to comfort him a few words when he saw this, and Huang Hanju's mood was slightly better. The soldiers of the New 22nd Division stationed in the camp did not know that Tang Cheng had been secretly packing up their things, and when they saw the heavily armed Tang Cheng and their weight-bearing marching training the next day, the soldiers of the New 22nd Division still privately said that Tang Cheng was idle and full of food, and after watching it for several days in a row, the soldiers of the New 22nd Division who were still kept in the dark were not surprised.

Of course, Tang Cheng's quietness can't hide from everyone, and the officers in the command who have not been waiting to see Huang Hanju suddenly found that Huang Hanju seems to like to come to the headquarters these days, and as soon as he comes, he pulls people around to chat, and also sends a lot of things. There are no fools who can infiltrate the headquarters of the expeditionary force, especially those staff officers in the headquarters are well aware of the war ahead, and after carefully pondering Huang Hanju's abnormality, these people have already guessed the reason for Huang Hanju's abnormal behavior.

"If you want to leave with the wounded, you can, take 10 sticks first, and your brother-in-law must stay, 10 gold bars are just the price of you alone." These people who don't want to see Huang Hanju have long figured out the relationship between Huang Hanju and Tang Cheng, and when these people secretly lamented why they didn't have a brother-in-law who could come to Myanmar to protect themselves, they gave Huang Hanju a cruel and harsh condition.

Due to the unfavorable situation of the troops entering Burma, the chairman of the committee has transferred Luo Zhuoying to serve as the commander of the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force, and under Luo Zhuoying's strong suggestion and request, the headquarters of the expeditionary force has made plans to escort some of the wounded back to China. Huang Hanju is now in charge of the wounded shelter is almost all seriously wounded, in the entire plan for the return of the wounded soldiers, Huang Hanju was originally going to participate in the escort along the road, but the people in the command concealed the news from Huang Hanju, and they offered such a condition to watch the gap between Huang Hanju and Tang Cheng.

"Brother-in-law, promise them, isn't it just 10 gold bars, since they want to see our jokes, let them see enough." Unlike Huang Hanju, who was depressed, Tang Cheng, who heard the news, almost cheered. Since Tangcheng they went into the mountains for training, the daily mountain weight-bearing march distance has increased from the initial 15 kilometers to 30 kilometers, and the intensity of the march when the real retreat is probably even greater than this, Huang Hanju will definitely not be able to support it, rather than being dragged down by Huang Hanju at that time, it is better to seize the opportunity to walk one by one.

"Xiaocheng, they said that I could only go alone, and I left, but what about you and these people of yours? How can I tell your sister about these things after I go back to Kunming, and how can I tell Shishi? Could it be that I left you in Myanmar for the sake of my own lives? Huang Hanju roared at Tang Cheng rarely, and the water vapor in his eyes finally couldn't help but flow out. I know I'm holding you down, but if it weren't for my big trouble, you might have had it easier. ”

The tears on Huang Hanju's face made Tang Cheng stunned, since he knew Huang Hanju and his wife, he had never seen this broad-minded man cry, a lieutenant colonel of the national army was crying in front of him like a helpless child at the moment, Tang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but have moisture, but Tang Cheng couldn't help but let it flow out. took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it, Tang Cheng, who slowly exhaled the smoke, sat down next to Huang Hanju, he knew that Huang Hanju was the most real now, and this man's crying would never be disguised.

"Brother-in-law, you know, I was an orphan since I was a child, and my adoptive father, who kindly raised me, also died in Shanghai. The moment Duoduo and Xiaohu called my uncle, you know how happy I am, because I am no longer alone, I have relatives, you and my sister, Duoduo, Xiaohu and Shi Shi, you are my relatives in Tangcheng. Duoduo and Xiaohu can't live without a father, and my sister can't do without a man, I'm willing to do anything for you, so you have to go. When you leave, I can let go of my hands and feet, and besides, I still have the Yanlong brothers and Hou San, and the forests of Myanmar can't trap me. ”
